Song Submission

Hey I think it would be cool if we had a little area where we could submit new songs that we think would be cool to do. I know that everyone out there has different styles and tastes so I'm sure we would have a huge lists of suggestions. Just an idea to get the creative juices flowing and for you all to be looking, or should i say listening, for cool new songs.

WANT TO WIN? CHIME IN!

What do you think could make the backstage "green room area" a better place?

Also, is there anything you would want to contribute to back there?

If we did something fun as a team, what would it be?

YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

SHOUT OUT!

This week's shout out goes to Zach T! He is a phenominal BGV team member. He pulls the songs for our practices and services and duplicates our songs. He and Terryl recorded our Easter cd's for the choir. This will make practices go so smooooooth and the choir will feel confident coming to practice.

Zach, thank you for your hard work and excellence! Thank you for allowing me to be picky...and for posting on my blog!

My computer is not allowing me to post pictures on this blog.

CHOIR AND BGV'S

Hello BGV's!

Easter choir is beginning this Saturday! We have passed out a cd of the songs to the crew and we will have 12 kids joining us!

We are a lot more prepared this time than we were for the Christmas choir...being there weren't major unforseen changes this time. We are all appreciative of that, I am sure.

We will be splitting the children off and I will need some of you to help with them. (-: They will be singing for two of our 3 choir songs. They will need to be very energetic and know the songs well. Maybe even some choreography!

Please be at practice at 4:30 pm this Saturday. I am going to need you to help lead the crew.

Love you all!

Happy Birthday Pastor M-E-L!!

This is a shout out to one of the two greatest leaders in the world.

It is her B-Day tomorrow and since we can't all sing to her over the internet (...easily that is), she will have to settle for us saying nice things about her online (...though you can always sing to her on location...hmmm...maybe there could be a prize for the craziest demonstration of "Happy Birthday" in front of P. Mel?)

We thank you for being you. We thank you for putting us before yourself. We thank you for taking the time to see we are each reaching our full potential for Christ. We love you and pray that God's grace, anointing and favor will increase exponentially.

Oh...and that you will recieve an overflowing abundance of "Sour Patch Candies", "Gummie Worms", and chocolate (:hint)

EASTER SONG

We are looking to do a new song on Easter...

Beautiful Day, U2

or

Where the Streets Have No Name, U2

Thoughts? Have another?

PRACTICE

Due to the men's breakfast, we will have NORMAL PRACTICE (What defines normal 'cause I don't think I like normal??...Dan, why don't you bring a dance?) at 6:30 pm. Although we need an all team meeting and fun time...we will hold off for a more opportune time.

BGV's...I am going to be speaking with you on leading some Lifesavers and Jr. High worship! Get ready, get ready, get ready!!!

NEW SONG FOR THIS SUNDAY

Hello!

There is a new song for this Sunday. The MP3 is on the website. I am in a meeting and will put the chord chart on the website as soon as I am out.

The new song is called, "Shout Your Fame" Thanks Dan Hanson!!!

WANT TO WIN? CHIME IN!

We are going to give out double the prizes this week! Prizes for last week's chime in and prizes for this weeks.

We need a song about the theme, "God is all about go. Or a song about going." And then another about "Honest ministry helps people. Step into your calling."

Any ideas?

UPDATE

Hi Team!

The mission team has safely returned! I feel like I have been on the other side of the moon, out of technology range. I apologize for not having schedules finished for the rest of March. They are up now. My hesitation was and is because we were/are making so many ongoing changes with the Saturday night worship that I didn't want to keep changing the schedule up.

There has been a men's breakfast scheduled for this Saturday morning. As a result, we will not be having an all-team meeting but WILL be having practice at 6:30 pm (regular time). I would love for our men to be at this breakfast.

I plan on practicing Adonai on Saturday so will be posting the chord chart this week.

I am in the middle of planning Mitosis and have a couple of specific worship sets lined up. The one that takes the most practice will be Thursday's set so we will practice on Wednesday evening. Please check out the schedule. At the bottom of the March schedule is a list of specifics on practices, Mitosis and prayer.

As soon as Saturday evening's begin, we will re-visit practice times. Please post or e-mail me with any questions you have regarding any of these items!

Love you all!

Mitosis...

As a fellow team member, I want to encourage you all to sign up for Mitosis, if you haven't already.

It is going to be an amzing time of impartation, vision, inspiration and growth. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity that you do not want to miss. As it has been stated, this is a year of beginnings and Mitosis is a big part of that.

Plan on being there for all the sessions if you can. And if you can't, be there for some of the sessions. If you are on the fence of indicision, don't think about it...do it:-) If it is an issue of cost for anyone, please see me.

It's a moment- don't miss it! Love you all and hope to see you there.

That All May Know,
NG

SHOUT OUT!

This week's SHOUT OUT goes to Rachel. She leads the BGV's on the team and is an incredible leader. Attitude is like a ripple in the water that will effect the entire pool or a little bit of Koolaid powder that makes the enire jug of water taste like yummy grapes! Rachel is lke that Koolaid. No matter what the situation, circumstance, her amount of sleep or her intake of Mountain Dew, she has a tremendous attitude!

Thank you for your support, Rachel. Thank you for your passion for purity and heart for the vision, God, Jeff and myself. Thank you for loving your kids and husband (he's kinda cool, too!) and sharing your kids! I appreciate you and am confident and excited about all God is doing and will do in and through you! Anyone else want to chime in? I know you do..

WANT TO WIN? CHIME IN!

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you want to go?
What would you take with you?

I would go to Italy...always New York. Oh and rent a house on St. Martin. (I couldn't decide on one!)
I would take my video Ipod because it holds everything including the bible on cd.

FROM PUERTO VALLARTA

Hey Team!

I am really excited for Fuel. I want you to worship God and remember that you are ministering to Him...an audience of One.

Thank you for your dedication and passion. One of the interns said something really great tonight, during our processing. While here, there is a language barrier but we always have a language barrier when sharing Christ. Whether it is religious, social, age, gender or the many others, we have got to ask God to help us break those barriers down. Team, you have what it takes to break down every worship barrier. It starts from you just being an example of worship. Living a life of worship. Through that, it will show on stage and draw all me to Him. Don't try to make it happen, you don't have to. Don't talk to much, you don't have to. DO HAVE A BLAST!!!

Here is a picture of Kat teaching English and one of Terryl feeding in the dump. Go to melindaknight.com for some others. I was thinking I should maybe race the race car after my driving experience here. LOL!

Love you all!
